Project Architecture Overview

Introduction​

The R-Type project is a multiplayer shoot'em-up game developed using a client-server architecture. This document provides an overview of how different components interact with each other.

System Overview​

The system is composed of the following major parts:

  • Client: Handles the rendering, input management, and communicates with the server.
  • Server: Manages the game state, handles networking, and synchronizes the game world for all clients.
  • Game Engine: Core engine that powers the game logic, entity management, rendering, and other systems.
  • Network: Manages the communication between client and server, sending game events like player movements.
  • Map Editor: A tool to create and modify maps that can be used in the game.

Key Concepts​

  • ECS (Entity-Component-System): The architecture used for organizing game objects and behavior.
  • UDP Networking: Communication between the client and the server is handled via the UDP protocol.
  • Event System: Events are used to synchronize actions between clients and the server.
